with about same price I got 1 GB of storage and keypad. Thank god it’s thin too (and perhaps still thinner than iPhone).

Ha.

LOL Mission-E

I just realized that there’s this animu titled “Mission-E” that’s going to be broadcasted this summer.

Sounds familiar, I checked on wikipedia and found that it really is what I thought o_O

Yea, it’s a sequel to Code-E (lol obvious).

I think I need to finish watching the first season after all…

about:code-e

Chinami Ebihara is a highschool student who emits electromagnetic waves when her emotions run wild. The waves affects electronics such as cell phones, televisions, and computers. Her ability forces her family to move from one location to another. In the year 2017, the Ebihara family moves yet again. At school, a boy named Kotaro Kannagi notices her ability and asks if he can study her. Sonomi Kujo, the daughter of a wealthy family who has loved Kotaro since they were very young reacts with jealousy to his interest, while Yuma Saihashi, a miko with powers of her own tries to guide and warn her. Soon, two foreigners arrive to spy on her.

FreeBSD: 0, NetBSD: 1, OpenBSD: 1

Sil3112 (SiliconImage SATALink RAID PCI Card) is not properly supported by FreeBSD. The installer halted successfully on all my three attempt at installing it. (First one even stopped when formatting – said that it can’t find the hard disk drive LOL).

OTOH, NetBSD and OpenBSD can use that piece of hardware just fine albeit the claim of the card as “crappy” on certain mailing lists.

Pure-FTPd

WTF. Pure-FTPd uses WAY TOO HIGH processor cycles. <_<

The server’s CPU usage gone like 90% just for pure-ftpd processes. So I decided to uninstall it and replace with vsftpd… and the CPU usage is now topped at 20% on vsftpd.

Conclusion: Pure-FTPd sucks (or perhaps it’s my system’s configuration. Whatever, lol).

PS: <3 Chihiro.

nginx/php 404 proper handler

Posted on by

If you find “No file specified” error message disturbing (as I did), here’s the configuration to remove it!

location ~ .php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:55555;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_paramΒ  SCRIPT_FILENAMEΒ Β Β  $request_filename;
}

Don’t use `if (-f $request_filename)` – it won’t work and if is evil. Also the `try_files` will ensure that the file actually exists – effectively disabling possible vulnerability with public file upload on certain conditions.

Here are the links I find useful:

* [WordPress with nginx](http://elasticdog.com/2008/02/howto-install-wordpress-on-nginx/)

Note that the latter link should not be followed anymore.

Tonight, system.genshiken-itb.org got a system upgrade!

[10:42] ~# dmesg | head
OpenBSD 4.3-current (GENERIC) #878: Tue May 27 09:18:05 MDT 2008
deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

I upgraded it. Remotely.

Nothing is more thrilling than reboot with new kernel while praying nothing bad happens O_O (which means, if IT happens, the server won’t be accessible until I got time to go to the location of the server…)

Now I can finally install PostgreSQL from packages – not compiling from source anymore πŸ˜€

Too bad there’s still no cksfv πŸ™

Um…

I just continued reading Naruto (LOL) up to chapter 401…

And the first thing I noticed is that there are TOO MANY freakin colored/vectored/etc pages packed in a chapter! πŸ‘Ώ

Average files on a chapter increased up to 2x or more… (that is, about 20 pages actual chapter accompanied with 20 pages colored/vectored/etc arts).

FAIL

Deleted file is deleted

I was looking for this particular music in my harddrive…

Just to find that I have deleted it.

And I actually used windows’ search capabilities when trying to find it πŸ™

Apparently I deleted the file about one year ago… And just realized it now -.-

DVD source is serious business

I just saw two fails from DVD source releases:

  • Certain group doing DVD release of Rental Magica: apparently not taking extra care in IVTC process which results in not smooth playback on opening part which I suspect, about 30fps while they smartly decimate them at 24fps. Note that this might be inaccurate but I kinda trust this is the case.
  • Certain other group doing DVD release of StrikerS: 896×504 for its resolution… I don’t know where they made the number up. And it’s not even mod16. Good that they’re apparently doing all-softsubs release. (and use another group’s translations… hmm right.)

Moral of the story: take extra care when doing DVD source encodes.

Absurdity of Connection

Posted on by
Reply

I’ve noticed this since last few months: connection to my Uni from my home is MUCH faster if I tunnel it somewhere first (usually to US).

It went like this (from my observation):

Normal Connection

  • Connect from home to university
  • Given local route (IIX)
  • Connect over IIX
  • SLOWPOKE.JPG

Tunneled Connection

  • Connect to a US server
  • Connect to university over US server
  • Given faster connection (AI3)
  • Connect over AI3
  • ???
  • Profit!

See the pattern? Yeah, somehow domestic connection (IIX) from university is even more slowpoke.jpg than ever. That, or the bandwidth from both ways (from and to) is throttled for IIX. While for AI3 (for international connection) is throttled one way (from uni to intarwebs)

WTF

The connection is getting worse everyday while the connection availability is more or less stays same for years (LOLWUT)
